A complete dungeon full of puzzles? RIFT aims to provide players with a new challenge – but it is hidden.
Occasionally, some developers develop particular ambition or want to challenge players in a very special way. Those who have had enough of damage numbers and boss encounters in RIFT might find the latest dungeon “Tok’s Proving Grounds” to be tailored for them. This dungeon revolves around puzzles, mazes, and a bit of mathematics.
However, the first puzzle begins even earlier: the way to the dungeon is not marked on the map. Worse still, the access regularly changes its position and is anything but obvious. The only clue the developers give is that players should look for a “conspicuous geometric shape” in Alittu – something like a cube, a pyramid, or similar structures.
In the dungeon, one can choose between the 1- or 2-player variant, which adjusts the existing puzzles, making them more challenging. There are glass rooms, mazes, a crazy fantasy sudoku, and an Indiana Jones escape from a pyramid.
By the way: those who think they can simply memorize the solutions are mistaken. Each visit to the dungeon presents new random factors, so one has to engage with the puzzles anew every time.
The Rift folks warn: many spoilers in the video.
The entire effort is rewarded with cosmetic armor sets, whose accumulation will likely take a lot of time.
The dungeon “Tok’s Proving Grounds” is already live and can be accessed in the game – provided one finds the entrance.
